The broiler cycle
A typical batch moves through brooding (week 1), growing (weeks 2–4) and finishing (weeks 5–6). Target weight is usually reached around day 35–42 depending on breed and feed.
Feeding for good FCR
Feed is given as pre-starter, starter and finisher. A lower Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) means more weight per kg of feed — the single biggest lever on profit. See our FCR guide and broiler weight chart.
Selling at the right rate
Broiler rates change daily. Watching your state rate and lifting birds on a strong day can add meaningfully to batch profit. Grow Poultry sends live broiler rate updates for your state.
